GROUNDING
Improperly connecting the ground-
WARNING
ing wire can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro-
vided with the tool. Never remove the grounding
prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the
cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it
repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before
use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Grounded Tools (Three-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked "Grounding Required" have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet
(See Figure A). If the tool should electrically mal-
function or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user, reducing the risk of electric shock.
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through
the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically
"live" terminal.
Your tool must be plugged into an appro-
priate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in Figure A.
Double Insulated Tools (Two-Prong Plugs)
Tools marked "Double Insulated" do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable standards
of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the
Canadian Standard Association and
the National Electrical Code. Double
Insulated tools may be used in either
of the 120 volt outlets shown in Figures
B and C.
ASSEMBLY
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug tool before changing or
removing accessories. Only use accessories
specifically recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove or
attach accessory tips until tool has cooled to
room temperature.
Installing/Removing Nozzles
1. To install, slide the nozzle onto the heat gun nose.
2. Adjust heat, distance and length of application as
necessary.
3. To remove, allow tool to cool to room temperature,
then pull nozzle away from tool.
WARNING
removing accessories or making adjustments.
Use only specifically recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, always wear proper
eye protection marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
The proper amount of heat for each application de-
pends on the temperature selected, distance between
the nozzle and workpiece, and the length of time heat
is applied. Experiment with scrap materials and start
with the lowest temperature. Be cautious when work-
ing until the proper combination of heat, distance
and time of application has been obtained. Use a
back and forth motion when applying heat unless
concentrated heat is desirable. When done, place the
tool upright on a flat surface, snap the support stand
into the center notched position, and place the cord
so the heat gun won't tip to allow the nozzle to cool.
1. For Low Temperature (570°F), move the switch
to the middle position.
2. For High Temperature (1000°F), press in the bot-
tom of the switch.
Fig. A
3. For OFF, press in the top of the switch.
1. For ON, push the switch to the (II) position.
2. Rotate the variable temperature dial to increase or
decrease the temperature (up to 1040°F)
3. To cool the tool before storage, push the switch
to the (I) position.
4. For OFF, push the switch to the (0) position.
Fig. B Fig. C
The heat guns can be positioned upright on a stable
surface, leaving both hands free for the application.
Always place tool on a flat surface, snap the support
stand into the center notched position, and place the
cord so the heat gun won't tip. The rear vent openings
are designed to allow air flow even when the tool is
resting on the end cap. Do not cover the vents with
foreign materials such as clothing or rags.
WARNING
bustible materials and areas adjacent to work-
piece. Protect yourself from hot paint scrapings
and dust.
Types of Nozzles
• Hook Nozzle - Surrounding heat for thin pipe weld-
ing, soft soldering copper pipes, tube shaping and
shrinking of shrink tubes.
• Air Reduction Nozzle - Intensified, spot directed
heat for corners, plexiglas bending and soldering.
• Deflector Nozzle - Deflected heat protects glass
window panes when removing paint and putty.
• Air Spreader Nozzle - Directs heat over large
areas for drying, removing paint, floor coverings,
and vinyl tops.
